Free Us From Pain

Our PRIDE, JOY and for most of us, LOVED one.

Pain

pain is there, we see them
pain is on a hill, in a building so white so real
pain is hard, they're made of coal
pain is hot sometimes cold
pain is itch
pain is bitch
pain is long and never ceasing
pain is old still standing and still winning
pain is unreachable
pain comes to you
pain steals your heart
pain starts from square one
pain ends at square root 25

pain needs love
pain wants attention
pain breaks friendships
pain eats souls
pain brought me joy
pain brought me sorrow
pain gave me hope
pain ate my bones
but most of all
pain is mine, don't ask me why


there are lots of people around the world in need of a better future. help our cause.

FREE US FROM PAIN

OUR PHOTOSHOOT

Gauze. was suppose to do this eons ago but it turns out our exams just want to make us aeons older. just think of it like this, we study moral (like as if we need to) but it all just doesn't go anywhere, or means anything.

ok. Mr Joel was suppose to post this post, but since he is not a postman, he can't post.
so Mr Leroy is taking over the job for the time being while MR JOEL is getting our multi hundred dollar state-of-the-art soundproof, wired and concertoured Recording Studio done up.
so, while we wait for him to get back his line back online, you'll just have to read my crap for now.

as the title suggests, yes we had our very first PHOTOSHOOT last week. and man, was it a blast. i mean a shot. For some reason or another, this was the first taste of our metroamourity, gelling hair, waxing hair and also cutting hair just for some five minutes of pain.it was for us however, a moment to reflect on the direction we were planning to go.
Wardrobe. Black? blue? yellow? pink? if we were going to make one important decision, it had to be now. choosing what colour we were going to wear for the shoot was as important as Coldplay choosing the adjective yellow for their song. (look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and all the things you do, and it was all blue)
see, it could have gone either way. imagine if black ran out of fashion. (??) or pink suddenly became girl's favourite colour again! this decision we were about to make was like deciding how we should name our new born child (i know somone who's name is TAN CHI KORK, and someone named tualanpa singh) imagine if we chose the wrong colour...
what if we went the wrong way and ended up claiming MTV's worst coloured band of all time, or being named Forbes richest ugly people.
it was THAT important.
So, after much deliberation, deliberately wasting time whilst at it, we finally decided on the COLOUR.........




here's the deal. Come back tomorrow, and you'll find out what colour we wore. :P




i learnt this tactic from singapore idol. but of course, they copied us.

XAN Le' Vasiz

Shahrul, The Lead Guitarist.

Aight ppl, this is the lead guitarist of the band. We took quite some time to actually make him to do this.. but he finally did it. Btw, he doesnt know this video exists, and he doesn't know its gonna be here too.

So here it is. More to come? Sure. enjoy.

Le' Vasiz : The start of a new era

How should I start this chapter ?...........One day........Once upon a time............AH! Who cares !!!
I'll do it my style...........

What should I be writing about first?..........ah ya the origin of Le'Vasiz.
Le'Vasiz was created in early March 2005. It all happened when 5 musically-inclined friends started talking about making a band .We had this discussion while waiting for the van/bus to arrive...........The 5 guys mention were Leroy, Joel, Shahrul, Thomas and me, Marvin. It was ideal for us to think of such things like making a band because all of us have been friends since primary school, most of us are staying around Perling, all of us sat the same van and all of us love music . In the end, we came to an agreement to make a band and decided to register ourselves for the 2005 FOA(Festival of Arts) auditions.

Luckily for Le' Vasiz, they had a drummer who could supply every single musical instrument you need to orchestrate a band practice or a jamming session. He even supplied us a jamming room which was actually his music room. Till today, it's still Le' Vasiz official jamming room/practice room thanks to our drummer, Joel.

In our debut performance, in middle March 2005, we actually screwed our performance and gave a really mediocre-like performance. The first song we ever performed was Simple Plan's 'Welcome to my life' but it really sounded like 'welcome to my death'. One of our main reasons for our shit performance was most probably our vocals. Our lead vocalist, Leroy had to be absent from the auditions because of scrabble reasons. So, Thomas had to sing and play bass at the same time, Joel on drums, and me and Shahrul with the guitars. In the end of the day we still got through the auditions and the other bands were not that impressive either . After that experience, all of us knew it was time to step up our game and play some real quality music.

After a long break , Le'Vasiz got back together again. We had a meeting right after the break and the talk was about FOA(Festival of Arts) battle of the bands. The band got together and tried to pick a song to play for FOA. We had our options, we tried playing songs from simple plan, greenday, yellowcard, the wonders and many other bands battling out today in MTV . Too bad or should I say luckily, all of the songs we tried din't turn out well. Those songs didn't clicked with the band and it felt like total rip offs.It wasn't us at all and it wasn't making trade fair. If we had played their songs today, we wouldn't be as good as we are today. We would have sounded like $#!t...... and we wouldn't have stayed together as Le' Vasiz.

In the end of the day, It was all about making a decision and not regretting it later. It wasn't easy and it wasn't a decision that had to be made by a group of scientists. As we were in the room(jamming) looking at the clocks ticking past by us slowly, the flow of melodious music and the thought of playing our own song started playing through our skin and bones. We finally decided to play the song that Leroy had written in late 2004, "Standing Next To You". We put in a lot of effort in making this song a real succes or should I say good enough for FOA.

Then It came FOA (Festival of Arts) that was held in the spastik hall, we were given the chance to perform 4th out of 11 bands in the battle of the bands competition. We took our chance and we nailed it with our own song "Standind Next To You". We gave a satisfying performance that saw the crowd waving their hands in the air and enjoying what they see and hear on the stage. After seeing 11 bands battling it out, it was time for the outcome of our band's performance. We got an excellent satisfying finishing of 2nd runners-up in the battle of the bands(botb) competition, we were overjoyed as it was our debut botb competition and we, Le' Vasiz only lost to two experienced bands . The experience ignited up
the whole band. It made us dream of making it bigger in the near future.

The end of 2005

To be continued......................... in a new post that will be named "Le' Vasiz-2oo6: Free Us From Pain "

Standing Next To You

For the benefit of some, here's the lyrics to our first production.. Standing Next To You.
just a brief history about it, written somewhere in December 2004 thanks to fate and a little more fate. Though the better half of fate didn't really materrialise, we're sure glad the song turned out ok..

first officially performed at the Festival of Arts 2005, it stuck with us for a number of sublime gigs, and we certainly would like to keep it playing all the way to the release of Amoretisation.
we'll just wait and see.. -Le' Vasiz..


Standing Next To You

Last Christmas,

I never thought that I would ever find someone like you
And I still can’t deny the feeling, when I look at you
But I know that feeling is for real, and I hope that you have felt it too
And I never wanna say goodbye at all,

I wanna tell you that

I will give, you all of my heart and my soul
And I wish that you will find me there in you
Cause I had to try, baby open up your heart and let me be the one
Standing Next To You

The first time I met you I just knew that it would be right
Cause I’ve seen you in my dreams and I still see you in my mind
But I never wanna see you with somebody else but me
And I tell you this and I swear it true

I will give,

you all of my heart and my soul
And I wish that you will find me there in you
Cause I had to try, baby open up your heart and let me be the one
Standing Next To You

Maybe its time to say goodbye
Maybe its time we tried
Maybe its time I tell you why
I’ve got you on my mind

I will give,

you all of my heart and my soul
And I wish that you will find me there in you
Cause I had to try, baby open up your heart and let me be the one
Standing Next To You

Let me be the one (standing next to you)
Let me be the one (standing next to you)
Let me be the one..
Standing next to you…

I'll never be good enough for you lyrics

I'll never be good enough for you lyrics

Take away these tears i cry inside
I've been a fool and it's you i can deny
Take away these tears that's haunting me
everywhere i go
Whem i'm with you, feels like there's no tomorrow

What if i decide to fly and run away from the pain,
Even if i tried to try, it's still be the same for you

I want you for myself
But i guess its over now
I've got myself to blame
It's a never ending pain
and I want you to know
Under all of the sorrows
I'll never be good enough
for you

I tried to change the way I live, I even tried to follow
I tried to be your man , I tried to be your hero
But i don't know (what you did to me)
And I don't know (what to do)
I don't know(I'm so lost without you)

I'll never be a perfect person o that's so true
I'll never be the one who's standing next to you
I don't wanna face the pain no more,
I don' wanna have to fight it
Idon't wanna be the one who's lost

Iwant you for myself
but i guess it's over now
I've got myself to blame
It's a never ending pain
And i want you to know
Under all of the sorrows
I'll never be good enough
for you
(twice)

I'll never be good enough for you.....
I gotta face the truth,
I'll never be with you.
